Fig. 1: Workflow for sexual dimorphism analysis of the pelvis of human fetus specimens.
From: Sexual dimorphism of the human fetal pelvis exists at the onset of primary ossification
Pelvic segmentation was performed on magnetic resonance (MR) images of 72 human fetuses stored at the congenital anomaly research center of Kyoto University and Shimane University, followed by three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and pelvimetry. The sex was determined through observation of the external genitalia. Pelvic sexual dimorphism was assessed using multiple regression analysis. CRL crown-rump length.
